The project management intern will work with our CEO on:

(1) A study in the UAE and possibly across the GCC (via online tools) on capital projects and mega projects. The study might include an events for senior managers and executives working on these types of projects.

(2) Support the preparation for a software development project by developing various templates, process flowcharts, and mind maps using tools like Mind Manager, Visio, and basic MS Office.

Special Message

The first three opportunities are ideal to start as soon as possible - August 2017. However, the last two are for the fourth quarter.

Further, these opportunities are for the UAE and would be ideal for graduating students still on their parents visas or young professionals who have residency in the UAE or UAE nationals. SUKAD will not pursue residency for candidates except if the internship leads to a permanent position.

Our internship are usually 2 to 3 months. Internship are typically non-paid assignment but we can provide a small allowance. All interns will attend training on our project management methodology in order for them to use this approach on their projects. They can also attend some of our public courses or in-house courses.

Depends on performance, one or more intern could be offered a regular full-time position with SUKAD.

One key message, part of the intern work will be independent (on their own) since our CEO is not in the office frequently.
